New study seeks to improve collaboration processes

New studies being conducted by CCCEP researchers in Leeds seek to examine and ultimately improve the co-production of climate knowledge.

The project, conducted by Dr Meaghan Daly and led by Prof Suraje Dessai, compares Regional Climate Outlook Forums in South Asia, southern Africa and the Mediterranean, looking at the way national, regional and international climate experts come together to develop consensus-based regional climate forecasts.

It seeks to discover whether co-production takes different forms in different regions, and what can be learned from any similarities and differences.

Further research will follow in 2018, examining case studies from newly-formed National Climate Outlook Forums.

It is hoped the project will provide valuable insights for those involved in working with RCOFs across the globe.
